The Gleason organization also covers the broad spectrum of parallel-axis and bevel gears, including technology from the now-incorporated Pfauter organization.
The real kicker to the company's growth has come in its traditional bevel gear manufacturing equipment market, where Gleason has enjoyed a dominant global role with market share of more than three-quarters of all bevel machines sold in major industrialized regions.
As the race heats up, watch for the company to move beyond today's gear line, which includes spur and helical gears, bevel gears, hypoid bevel gears, ground tooth gears, shafts, tapered serrations, differential and differential-carrier assemblies, housings, custom drives and torque-hub planetary gears used as wheel drives, shaft output drives and spindle output drives.
